Chapter 69


    “He’s not just handsome. He has this super intimidating aura too. I bet he’s the mysterious guest invited


    by the school.”


    Just as Corinne was going into the concluding remarks, she felt that something was not right with how


    everyone responded. It was almost as if they were all staring behind her.


    She turned around to find out what was happening and was takenpletely by surprise! ‘Why is he


    here?!’


    Jeremy’s thoughtful gaze nced swiftly across her as he walked forward. His tall body stood beside


    her, and he reached out to raise the microphone to mouth level. His low and maic voice resonated


    throughout the auditorium as he said, “Hello everyone, I’m here as Corinne’s family, and I’d like to


    thank the University of New Capital City for all the care that has been given to Corinne. I don’t have


    much time right now, so I’ll keep things short. I’m donating aboratory building to the university in


    Corinne’s name as a token of appreciation for all that the university has done for Corinne.”


    Corinne was speechless. ‘Is he okay or something?


    The audience was in an uproar, and the university’s top management was all shocked. Everyone was


    stunned to hear that a building had been gifted out of nowhere!


    “Whoa! Guess you don’t need to talk much if you’re handsome. You can just donate a building!”,

    “He’s the most dashing man I’ve ever seen, and he doesn’t even bat an eye when he donates that


    building! Does anyone know who he is to Corinne?”


    “He says he’s family, so I’m guessing he’s her brother? But they don’t look alike at all!”


    “He’s young, so he can’t be her father, right?”


    The University of New Capital City’s dean took the stage excitedly and said, “Fellow students, let us


    thank Corinne and her family for their generous donation. How about we give them a round of


    apuse!”


    A thunderous apuse then ensued.


    Ivanka’s face turned ugly, and she felt her pride being trampled on the ground. Corinne had stolen her


    spotlight again! By contrast, the three pianos that her father said he would donate earlier seemed to


    pale inparison!


    ‘D*mn it! Corinne is supposed to be an illegitimate daughter whom nobody cares about! Who’s that


    handsome and wealthy man who went on stage with her?’


    At that moment, there was a short break in between sses in the freshmen’s hurried in and said,


    “Something big happened, Francine! I heard that your brother donated a building to the school!”


    Francine, whose eyes were still red after being reprimanded by her brother because of her study


    Issues, was overjoyed when she heard the news. “I knew my brother still cares for me even after


    scolding me! I’m d he donated the building to the school so the teachers will be a bit ‘nicer’ to me


    during the exams!”


    The female ssmate corrected her awkwardly, “Ummm… He didn’t donate the building because of


    you.”


    Francine waved her hand in disbelief. “Don’t y around with me. Who else would he donate it for?


    The female ssmate said regretfully, “But I swear it’s not for you. It’s for one of the senior graduates


    named Corinne!”


    Francine stared at her ssmate in shock. “Corinne? She’s a student at the University of New Capital


    City?!”


    The female ssmate had an expression that seemed to say, ‘How could you not know this?’ She then


    exined, “Corinne is a legend here in the university. She was the top scorer of her year in the national


    university entrance examination, and no one has ever surpassed her scores! I heard that she didn’t


    actually apply to the University of New Capital City, but it was our dean who visited her and invited her


    here!”


    “That’s right! Our senior, Chester Mansfield, is so in love with her, but he still hasn’t managed to win her


    heart even after chasing her for three years!”


    While the previous bit of information merely made her angry, it was the subsequent one that shattered


    Francinepletely. She had a crush on senior Chester since forever, but he rejected her and told her


    that he already had someone he liked. Francine never thought that it would be Corinne!


    Her ssmate said again, “I didn’t think your brother had two younger sisters! Is Corinne your older


    sister, then? Why doesn’t she have the Holden surname though?”


    Francine said in disgust, “Corinne isn’t my brother’s sister!”


    That remark left her ssmate feeling puzzled. “Then who is she? How did she get your brother to


    attend her graduation ceremony as her family member? To the point of donating a building in her


    name?”


    Francine gritted her teeth. “She’s…”
